i have an 84 BII, 2.8 5-speed, and have been researching the 4.0 swap. i bought a 91 explorer w/5-speed for my donor ($200 !) ive read all the posts regarding this swap that i can find. here is where i got confused, DieHardFord says i can do it without swapping the dash, all others say i have to swap dash. has anyone else done this without swapping the dash? i am also swapping in the d-35/8.8 at the same time so i only have to have driveshafts modified vs made. i would like to keep my 1350 t-case, but i see the outputs are completely different, is there a way to use 1354 style flanges on my 1350? and what is the single wire plug to the rear diff on the 91 ex? i appreciate any help i can get, as im new to fords.
